,v J i K i f . t- Lancaster fntelUgenret. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 18,. 883. A Flimsy Argument. Senater Lee is reported as having made a speech en the apportionment in the Legislature yesterday, in which he argued that the -Republicans of Pennsyl vania ought te have a majority of the congressional delegation from this state far in excess of their relative vote, be cause " the wealth and intelligence of the United States are represented by a belt about four hundred miles wide, ex tending from ocean te ocean and situated in the temperate zone," and the Repub licans control this; while the Deme cratic party, en the ether hand, receives its support from ' a limited belt " within the " torrid zone." If the facts were as stated by Senater Lee, his conclusions would net fellow them. Ilis argument is the old one that " the earth is the in heritance of the saints, and we are the saints." "The belt of states" in this country which may with some reason be counted as of controlling influence, occupying the central geegrapical pesi tienandthe conservative balancing in fluence in political, social and cemmer cial life of the country, reaches from the Atlantic te the Mississippi, and consists of Connecticut, New Yerk, New Jer sey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohie, In diana, Illinois, Michigan and Wiscon sin. They contain half the popu pepu popu atien, most of the leading cities, three-fourths of the developed mineral wealth aud of the agricultural, railroad and ether great business enterprises of the country. And yet there is net one of them that has net come te be fairly debatable, and as a whole they are mere than likely iu the next presi dcntial contest te cast the majority of their votes for the Democratic candi date. As a matter of fact at the last election for congressmen this " belt of states" chose SO Democratic te 07 Repub lican congressmen ; aud this, tee, upon apportionments m.ide generally by Re publican Legis atures. What becomes, in view of this, of Senater Le's Phar isaical, if net Pecksuifliau argument ? Having ad mi tied that in his scheme te district the slate he would be guided by partisan interests rather than the direction of the constitution, it was superfluous, if net inconsistent, for the honorable senator te make further apol ogy for his support of the proposed Re publican jerrymander by repeating the assertion of his party that the state can not be divided into compact, contiguous and equal congressional districts se as te give the Democrats a fair representation according te their share of the vote. We insist that it can, and a map prepared by Mr. Geerge Morgan, of the Heuse, makes a districting of the slate which gives the Democrats fifteen congressional districts te thirteen for the Republicans ; and en this plan there are no greater extremes of population than in thcMo thcMe Cracken bill, aud no such misshapen districts as appear in that or the Stewart measure. Without any division of counties, such as deforms the present apportion ment, without any greater extremes than. mark the McCracken bill, the state can be divided se as te give the Democrats a majority of the districts. Nobody has seriously asked this ; the Democrats have offered te take far less, and te ac cept even the unjust preposition of Jehn Stewart, the late Independent leader. Paneplied with the righteousness and justice of their position they can easily afford te go into the campaign en the apportionment issue as it new stands. -- Ililud Partisanship. Senater Lee belonged te the se called Independent wing of the Republican party, and he probably is as independent in fact as any of the faction. Their pre clamatien was that they were independ ent of party dictation aud were deter mined te fellow their ideas of right. Ne doubt they meant what they said, and nodeubt they still fellow their ideas of right, although new they lead them into close affiliation with the Republican party while lately they drew them into rebellion against it. The Independent senators think it right new te vote for an apportionment bill which gives the Democrats nine congressmen and the Republicans nineteen, although the Democratic and Republican vote in Pennsylvania is nearly even and the vote of the state iu Congress should therefore also be nearly even politically. It re quires no demonstration te prove that Pennsylvania can only be fairly apper tiened into congressional districts when its political sentiments are represented in Congress according te the strength with which each is sustained among the people. The Independent Republican senators, having come into harmony with their party, are new unable te see that the Republican party should net take all the congressional districts that it can get. Senater Lee confesses that he would have been inclined te grab a little mere moderately than his party as sociates, but that he conceived it te be his duty te surrender something of his idea of right te theirs ; new that Repub lican harmony is again restored. He insists, however, that he does net con sent te much of a gerrymander since it would net be possible te district the state into contiguous districts of proper size, se as te give the Democrats their due share of representation in Congress. Evidently Senater Lee has net tried very hard te accomplish this feat. He has net tried as hard as he would have but for the restoration of Republican harmony. That has paralyzed his acute ness of observation. It is truly remark able bow an independent man may be blinded by his devotion te party har mony. It would net take a Democrat any time at all te carve out a majority of very respectable Democratic con gressional districts in the state ; and if Senater Lee will say that he will vote for an apportionment giving the Demo crats thirteen congressmen and the Republicans fifteen, which he seems te concede would be a fair distribution if the districts as can be well made, there will be no difficulty in showing him hew te de iL The fact is, however, that the Independent desire for fairness in appor apper . tienment has been altogether smothered te rioweut-HerodUwbd in 4fr dflMfcl natiw teeepWpaity &? lth Republicans have in the fcxistteg aijier- tieament. - " ' ' - There ought net te be any difficulty hi reaching a conclusion as te what should be done in regard te the proposed hospital for smallpox patients. It is the place of the county te provide it. It bas suitable ground for it, isolated from pop ulation. It needs te put up a cheap wooden building, because it must be built as quickly as possible and because it will answer the purpose as well as a mere substantial and costly structure. At Wilmington a building was erected for a few hundred dollars, when that town was infected with smallpox; it has new disappearedand the building has been burned. The preposition te expend five thousand dollars en a hospital new does net seem te be wise ; as many hun dred dollars will supply all the needs of the occasion. Gaukielu bargained away the high offices and fat pickings of the govern gevern ment te raise the moneys needed te buy bis election ; and when he se disreputa bly get his prize he was killed. One would say that it was a just retribution, but for the fact that in his taking off he was mere fortunate even than in his lucky life. It gave him a chance te figure a3 a martyr and te have a sweet saver in the nostrils of all the gullible people in the country, who could net see what a weak and fallible fellow was masquerading under the robes of his high office. History bids fair, however, te expose him as the sorry knave h' eas. Mn. William E. Chandler's uiuther is buried. He may return te Washing ton. His senatorial boom is also under the sod. It is asserted that the Legislature in its zeal te create an orphans' court judgeship for Berks county, overruled the iinpertaut matter of makiug an appropriation te pay the salary of the office. Judek neADLEV bas very succiuctly btated a pregnant political fact : " The people are net se much interested in -what the Republican leaders of twenty years age did as what the leaders of the party are doing te day." PneiiAHLY a great many people who express their presidential preferences have no better reasons for them than the bell boy of the Chicago hotel, who is for the Judge Black and Beb Ingersoll combina tion because they both tip him generous ly.

The Philadelphia Ledger says : Frem all appearances, when the time comes for the adjournment of the Penn sylvania Legislature, it will be immersed in the strong contempt of the people of the state. The geed name it once had has heen covered with obloquy by the acts of these et its members, and they are uumor uumer uumor eus, in both the political parties, who have foreswern themselves by substituting party politics for the constitution, the law and their oaths te obey both. The Ledger should furnish a bill of par ticulars and show, if it can, wherein the Democratic members have foreswern themselves or asked anything that was net reasonable. FEATUBES OF THE STATE PRESS.

One of the members said he did net knew hew long a time would be allowed the Western Union company te reply. He could net say whether a strike would be ordered should the reply prove satisfac tory. When the reply is received the operators will determine what te de. An official of the Western Union company said the matter was te be taken up at the regular meeting of its executive committee te day. If the telegraphers' committee should net send in by neon the names of these operators in the employ of the company whom they claim te repre sent, "it is probable that the executive committee will send a reply te the com mittee of seven, declining te treat with them en the ground that they de net re present the operators, but at the same time expressing their willingness te redress anv imevance of anv man or woman employed by the company." He added, further, -that fully one third of the company's operators will refuse te join a strike ; in twenty-four hours afterwards " we (the company) would have one half of the regular number of operators at work."

Philadelphia Hecerd. Because the Democrats mainly draw their support from the torrid zone Iudo Iude pendent Senater Lee regards it as a pious duty te cheat, in matters of apportion ment, the Democrats who happen te be within the " temperate zoue." With an unotien worthy of Pecksniff this honest senater declares that, for the reason that the Democrats are in the torrid zene, it is "but just and right that Ropubliean rule Bheuld largely predom inate " when it come te making appor tionments. The Stalwart of the Senate frankly refuse te make an apportionment because they bolieve it tebe legitimate warfare te kcep the apportionment they have get. The Independents, while making loud pretensions of fairness, beliove it te be a patriotic duty te deprive the lewd Democracy of as many representatives as possible.

When Mr. Dersey tells the story of the Indiaua election in 1880, however, it may be depended en that he is relating that which he k nowste be true, and there was never a mera disgraceful incident iu Americau history. Oddly enough, Mr. Dersey tells of his part iu it with evident pride. He fairly glories in his success as a corrupter of elections and as a wholesale briber. He frankly admits that a thorough aud individual canvass of the state showed it te be " hopelessly Demo cratic." Iu the latter part of Septem ber, however, he had completed his or ganization and had learned " the influen ces that could be brought te bear en each veter." then, he says, the sum of $432, 000, contributed by the fuuding syndicate, was sent from New Yerk te Indiana, mostly in $2 bills. Mr. Dersey's line feel ings and sensitive honesty proveuted him from taking a personal part iu the distri bution of this filthy lucre te the itching palms of the sordid vote sellers. As he expresses his duties he was there " te pro pre vent, se far as possible, any of the money from sticking in the pockets of the men who were trusted te dis tribute it." The man intent en steal ing the presidency of the nation mnst have had a holy contempt for the lesser thieves, his " trusted" underlings, who might try te steal a few hundreds of del lars of the bribe meney. He says that "these bills were distributed through the state, just as ballets were, in great buuehes. The destination of each was perfectly well known, and by neon of election day they had fallen like snow flakes silently all ever the state, although mere in some parts than ethers. Then came the cennt of polls in the evening.

UOIUA.NUK AT LONG 1SRA.NUH. A Yeung Clerk Saves the Lite et n St. Leuis ueireBS. At Leug Branch Miss Millicent Coombs, of St. Leuis, went in bathing aud was iu danger of drowning, when a railroad clerk, who was a geed swimmer, rescued her. Miss Coombs is a beautiful orphan, with $100,000 of her own and arrived a few days age from her home accompanied by her auut and two lady companions aud a male cousin. She is an adventurous girl and struck out boldly, but when a little way from shore seme object that she took for a huge fish touched her, and as a shark had been caught during the day, she lest her prcsence of mind. Her screams attracted attention en shore and the life beat was quickly launched, but it would nevcr have saved her had net help been nearer at hand. Bathing at the time Miss Coombs beean te cry for help was Mr. Willie II. Whittlesey, who was about 200 feet from her shouting te her te jgkcep cool. He seen reached her side, told her te place her arm around his neck and have courage, as the beat would seen reach thorn. The plucky girl did as bid den, and they were seen taken into the beat. Miss Coemb3 then swoeued, but by the time the shore was reached she had recoverod her consciousness. They were received with a shout from the crowd, and Miss Coombs' cousin pressed a roll of bills into Whittlesey's hand. The gallant young fellow, how hew how evor, handed it back, saying that he had only dene his duty. By great persuasion ou the part of Miss Coombs he agreed te accept as a gift a geld watch aud chalu, which she said she herself would purchase and give te the man who saved her life. Mr. Whittlesey, who is net 21 years old, is engaged te be married te an estimable young lady who resides near his home at Iowa City, aud the impulsive little heiress made him premiso te permit her te act asjbride.smaid en the occasion of his inarriage. Whit tlesey is a clerk in a railroad effice in Iowa City, and a handseme young fellow, aud when married there is no doubt but that Miss Coombs will see that he starts en lile's journey with something mere tmb stantial than a clerk's pittance.

PhUadelpMa Ledger. -iyi The railroad war in Conshebooken, which was terminated some months ae by the court?, was renewed FxiJay with mere determination than marked the former. The route of the Pennsylvania Schuylkill Valley line lies ever the property of the Plymouth Rollins Mill company. A siding connected the Rolling Mill company's furnace with the tracks of the Plymouth railroad, which forms a junction with the Reading's main line, iu the borough. AU the stock for the fur nace reached it ever this siding. Tuesday morning, contractor Dyer com menced the work of shifting this siding in order te admit of the erecting of a pier by which the new line will be enabled te cress the Plymouth railroad tracks at the re quired distances above grade. A large lerce of men was engaged, and the work was completed Del ere i e cieck. The siding was shifted a distance of about 50 feet, and, after being relaid, was as geed as formerly in respect te bed and curva ture. Shortly after 4 o'clock about eue hun dred and fifty men in the employ of the Reading company commenced tearing up the shifted siding, and finished the job before G o'clock in the presance of the sheriff, who had been sent te the scene of war, but had no authority te stay the pre ceedings. During the eveuing eue huudred and fifty of Contractor Dyer's men were en gaged in shoveling a bank of cinder ever into the depression occupied by the siding before it was shifted. Withiu one hun dred yards were a number of Reading laborers encaged in the demolition of a trestle bridge across the Plymouth creek, and ever which the siding crossed. Prier te this the rails and ties forming the new disappeared sidinsr were ceuveyed en trucks en the Plymouth a short distance and unleaded. In tearing down the trestle bridge a locomotive was used for drawing the heavy timbers across the creek. One of these, in being removed, rolled from the abutment en the large pipe leading from the water company's pumping house te the reservoir, crossing the creek above the surface of the water. The pipe hurst and instantly the water commenced flowing from the reservoir at an alarming rate. It required some time te find the engineer, the only man who could close a valve between the basin aud the break in the pipe. This was accomplished after the water had been wasted for nearly an hour, and at this hour the residents of the upper end of the streets through which the pipe is laid are without a water supply, wells having long since been abandoned in that section. The affair has created an excitemeutth.it bas never been equalled in Conshohocken. Fer several hours during the evening there were at least 2,500 men, women and children at the scene of the conflict, bnt the best of order was maintained through out. Sheriff Fraukinfield remained en the ground, and sent te Norristown for a force of officers te prevent an outbreak, which, however, does net at all seem likely te occur. Shortly before 8 o'clock about 200 Swedes and Hungarian laborers from Contractor Lemen's section arrived upeu the ground, having been sent for te assist in relaying the siding and relieving the workmen en gaged en the cinder bank. Mossengers en horseback rode between Conshebooken and the headquarters of Mr. Lemen's men carrying dispatches. The new line has legal authority te con struct its read ever the Plymouth rolling mill cempauy's property, and shifted its siding by the permission and te the entire satisfaction of that company, as was learned from a Pennsylvania company's engineer and from a leading member of the rolling mill company, who says that the siding was the rolling mill company's property, aud that his company erected the trestle bridge ever the Plymouth creek which the Reading men have tern down. There is new no connection be tween the furnace and the railroad, which renders it impossible te get ere, coal and lime te the furnace without the employ ment of carts. A Plymouth rolling mill company man says that the freight received by the Read ing company through the new destroyed siding amounts te about $2,500 per week. He says the Iren company will let the two railroad companies fight it out, that his company de net care te give the thing a triangular shape. The Reading people claim that the material entering into the construction of the siding in dispute is their property, and that tbey had a legal right te remove it. At 10:30 o'clock p. in., nearly all the workmen had dispersed. The sheriff and a posse were en the grounds. The water main is still leaking and bids fair te draiu the reservoir, the cut-off valve having failed te perform its functions. m TUB I1KLL HOY. IIe Tells Something Abeat Ills Ulstlngiilsned fatrens.

I think if I had been a delpgate te that convontien, knewiu' what I saw and haviu' a gift of gab, I could have made my rcputaiieu in ene spaach. Talk about a picnic. Why it was a circus, with picnics for side shows and a brass band for every act. Why, I saw Den Cameren and Mr. Arthur have a quarrel which I thought would re sult in a fight, and I saw Mr. Cenklin' make them make up and shake. De you remember that fellow from Texas who said he wanted everything he could get I forget bis name. Well, I heard him tell Mr. Fester, of Ohie, one night that if he ever hinted semethiu' I don't knew what it was he'd mop up the sidewalk with him. " Actors are liberal," the ball boy said. " They want a heap, but they are willing te pay for it. Miss Abbett is an awful nice little ene, and throws silver half dol lars ever the transom when you take her up apellinaris water. But if evor Catha rine Lewis comes te this heuse while I'm here, I am geiu' te ask for a vacation. Never mind askin' me auy thing.

Sometimes they try te hide it by deublin' the bush money, but it is no use." Tne Extra session. Philadelphia Cor. N. Y. Herald. Upen the adjournment of the regular session of the Legislature without passing legislative, judical and congressional ap portionment bills the governor, by precla tien, convened the assembly in extra ses sion for the purpose of making such apportionment. The Senate being Re publican and the Heuse Democratic the bill failed during the regular session by the re re fuale( the Republican Sauate te recede from certain partisau and unfair appor tionment bills formed by Quay aud Magee in the interest of Cameren. As the con stitution expressly commands the Legisla ture te apportieu the state "immediately after each United Stales decennial census," -the governor convened the extra session for the purpose of having this neglected duty performed. Appearances indicate that no apportionments can be effected. It is new five weeks since the extra session was called, and the Republican Seuate still refuses te agree te any bills except these determined upon by the Republican cau cus. The Republicius ask eighteen con gressmen out of twenty-eight and offer the Democrats but ten, though en the Garfield vote they are only entit'ed te fif teen and the Democrats should receive thirteeu. Fer purposes of compromise the Democrats have e Ill-red te take eleven :nd give their opponents seven teen. These overtures have been declined. In the senatorial apportionment the Re publicans claim thirty-two and offer their opponents eighteeu senators. The present Senate stands twenty te thirty. The Democrat, while they say they are entitled te tweutv-twe senators aud the Republicans te but twenty ei"ht. offer te take twenty and give their opponents thirty. The Republican Senate however will net recede from its caucus bill of eigh teen and thirty two. As a matter of fact, the Republicans desire te prevent any new apportionment at all, being content with the present law. which was made upon the census of 1870. The two Houses are therefore at a deadlock, aud the extra session is likely te adjourn with the constitution still unebeyed and $150,000 wasted by the obstinate refual of the Republican members of the Senate te violate the instructions if their paity caucus. rirrKKN FACTOKIKS TO CLOSE.
